Indiana University East celebrated the accomplishments of its students during the annual Honors Convocation held April 15. Chancellor Nasser Paydar presided over the convocation.

“The Honors Convocation is a celebration of excellence. The academic accomplishments of these outstanding students demonstrate their singular commitment to intellectual exploration and hard work,” Paydar said. “It is certain that they will carry their academic achievements and ambition into the future and to everything that they pursue.”

Indiana University East congratulates Danny Danielson on his 2010 induction to the Junior Achievement of Central Indiana Business Hall of Fame. Danielson received the honor February 19 in Indianapolis. The Hall of Fame honors prestigious business leaders who have made a lasting impression in their corporations and community.

WHAT: The official naming ceremony for the Indiana University East Tom Raper Hall. The naming ceremony honors the contribution of Tom Raper, former Richmond businessman. Middlefork Hall will be renamed in recognition of Raper’s commitment of $2.17 million to support the campus. The gift is the largest in IU East’s history.

During a time when the resources of both the state and east central Indiana are constrained, Indiana University East Chancellor Nasser H. Paydar has decided to forgo a traditional chancellor installation ceremony. An installation, with its pomp and circumstance, marks the beginning of a new chapter for a campus and can be a long, lavish affair.
